WhatsApp leak reveals cashback feature coming on WhatsApp Payments

WhatsApp has a feature that allows users to send money to each other using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) which can be turned on by users. However, the WhatsApp Payments feature is being used by only a fraction of its userbase, according to reports. Now, a new WhatsApp leak reveals that the company could be working on a cashback feature that could arrive in a future update. WhatsApp seems to have figured out that one of the most effective ways to get users to download an app and use it is via cashback offers on payments or transactions.

According to popular feature leaker WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is working on adding a payments feature called Cashback, as part of a push to encourage users to try out the WhatsApp Payments feature built into the app for Indian users.
